Founded by Greg Dickie in 2001, just a guy enterprises has carried clients from ClearCase and Solaris through to Proxmox, Ceph, AWS, and Kubernetes. We design, optimize, secure, and modernize infrastructure — not just keep it running. No account managers, no junior bench, just the person who does the work.
Specializing in lots of things, honestly. Architecture, strategy, and modernization across Linux, virtualization, cloud, storage, networking, and observability — not just server support.
Ubuntu, Debian, RHEL, and Rocky Linux deployment and hardening, performance tuning, and patch and lifecycle management across the fleet — including legacy Samba/AD interop most consultants won't touch.
Ansible-driven configuration management, zero-touch deployment pipelines from bare metal to production, and Slurm cluster administration for HPC workloads.
VMware vSphere design and administration, and VMware-to-Proxmox migrations — cluster deployment, high availability, and Ceph/NFS/iSCSI storage integration.
Ceph cluster design, CephFS, performance tuning, and capacity planning, plus NAS/SAN architecture and backup consolidation for QNAP and enterprise storage.
Landing zone design, IAM Identity Center and access reviews, EC2 deployment, and hybrid AWS + on-prem connectivity, migration, and disaster recovery.
Kubernetes and MicroK8s cluster deployment, container migration, GitLab CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure as code for repeatable, automated delivery.
Switching and segmentation across whatever's in the rack, from Ubiquiti and MikroTik through Aruba and FS to Cisco gear, VLAN design, Cisco Firepower/FTD deployment and rule-base cleanup, Netskope SASE rollouts, and IP address management, discovery, and topology documentation — whatever the network's actually built on.
Zabbix deployment and alert tuning, dashboarding, and capacity trend reporting — built to reduce incidents, not just log them.
Linux and cloud hardening, least-privilege IAM design, and SSL lifecycle management — the basics done right, not audit paperwork.
Four stages, the same for a two-week audit or a six-month rebuild.
We read the configs, ask the annoying questions, and tell you honestly what's actually broken versus what's just old.
A concrete plan with rollback steps, maintenance windows, and the risks called out — not a slide deck.
The engineer who scoped it is the one at the keyboard. Progress updates go in the status board, not a status meeting.
Diagrams, credentials rotated, and a document your next hire can actually follow at 2am.
Some of this is project work. Some of it's better as a standing arrangement.
Senior expertise without a full-time hire: monthly health reviews, strategic planning, escalation support, vendor management, and capacity planning.
Assessment, migration planning, a pilot migration, full production cutover, and knowledge transfer to your team.
Design workshop, hardware sizing, cluster deployment, performance validation, and an operations runbook you can actually hand off.
Executive summary, risk and capacity review, security findings, and a recommended roadmap — or a cloud migration plan with cost estimate.
Game studios, VR pioneers, and everything in between — from small startups with no customers yet to large companies with military ones.
